IMPROVEMENT IN NIPPING AND CLINCHING TOOLS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 205,021, dated June 18, 1878;

April 27, 1878.

application iiled To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIP WHIGHTsIL, of Pickerington, in the county of Fairfield, Ohio, have invented an Improvement in Nipping and Glinching Tools, of which the. following is a speciiication:

The invention will first be described in connection with the drawing, and then pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1 of the drawing is a side viewT Fig. 2, a detail plan view ofthe inside ofthe straight Jaw.

A B represent the jaws of the clinchin g-tool, having, respectively, the recesses a and serrations b', while H G indicate the jaws ofthe nipper. The diagonally-oppositejaws B Gr are connected by the median handle D E, While each implement has an independent handle, C and F, on opposite sides of, crossing, and pivoted to the handle D E.

I am aware that a tool embracing both nippers and clinchers has been in use; but the independent handles are both upon the same side of the common handle, and are found t0 interfere with each other.

What I claim as new and of my invention 1s- A compound clinching and nipping tool having a common handle, D E, for the diagonal jaws B Gr, and the independent handles O F on opposite sides thereof, as shown and de# scribed.
